Paraffin Wax
|
Paraffin wax is sold in various grades. Paraffins differ from one another chiefly in melting point to differences in the distribution of hydrocarbons. Most grades cover a melting point range of a few degrees Fahrenheit. Straight chain saturated hydrocarbons are the predominant functionality. There are small amounts of unsaturated and branched hydrocarbons.
